Hey all; I currently have an iBasso d4 mamba, which no longer works via usb; so I can no longer use it as a dac (though still works as a portable amp for my ipod via 9v battery) That said, since it still works for portable, I figured I'd go for a desktop replacement. I don't know anything...- Bovice

d4 mamba driver?
I had a d4 mamba from about 5 years ago that the usb connector went bad; so while I could power it with a 9v battery for my iPod, I couldn't use it as a DAC for my computer. I finally got around to sending it to iBasso and they repaired it. It plugs into my computer now, but the computer tells...- Bovice

ATH m50 replacement
So after many years of great use, my ATHm50 took a crap. I was going to get another pair, but I've been using the apple ear pods for the last few months and I am so used to having the remote and being able to change songs from the headphones. That said, is there anything out now that is...- Bovice

Cheap LOD?
I'm trying to look for a cheap LOD for my Ipod classic. I've been through 3 Fiio L1 and one Fiio L3. They don't take too kindly to being carried around in pocket. How does the L9 fare and how would something like this work? ...- Bovice

fiio l3 LOD durability?
Ok, so when I first purchased my amplifier last year, I got an L1. It worked for me for about 6 or 7 months. I ride my bicycle around a lot so the amp/lod are always in my pocket during the time. It came to the point where i'd have to wiggle it to get it to work and if the positioning...- Bovice

d3 python vs d4 mamba
I was looking into purchasing a d4 mamba, I like what I've heard about it, but I just found a d3 python for much cheaper. I checked the Ibasso site, and they sell the two of them for the same price, so I figured, if the d3 stands up to the d4, then I'll just save myself a lot of dollars and go...- Bovice

I've had this Ipod Classic for less than 24 hours, looking for replacement
I'm highly highly highly disappointed w/ my Ipod classic. While the 80gb of space is nice and the sound is great, that's the only thing it has going for it. I'm thinking of reselling it already.
